Application filed February 12I 1901. Serial No. 46,981. (Remodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER G. VANYWIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in thecounty of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain newand use! fullmprovementsin Hot-Plates, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to gas or vapor stoves of that type commonly known as hotplates. These usually are formed of a flat frame supporting oneor more burners and 'adapted in use to be placed on a'tabl'e or range, which brings the burner .at ient elevation for' cooking over. r r Y It is the Object of the present invention to obtain a simple construction andone in which the component. parts my be readily `assembled to form plates having any desired number of burners.

Itis a further object to provide an 'oven which is capable of being elevated a suicient distance to permit of using the burners for other purposes and which may be4 lowered at any time. into proper relation with one or more of said burners. The invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement in connection f with said hot-plate of an Oven, and, further,

inthe peculiar construction, arrangement,

and combination of parts, as hereinafter de scribed and claimed.

In'the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a hot-plate and oven, showing the latter in its raised position. Fig. 2 isa vertical central `section with the oven lowered Fig. -3 is va. perspective in position for use. view of the lower portion of the ovensnpporting standard. Fig. 4 is a'perspective View of some of the parts detached; Fig. 5 is a horizontal. section showing said parts assembled; and Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic plan 'view ofthe-plate, showing the diere'nt ad' justrnents of the oven in relationthereto. The hot-plate is composed of one or more sections or units, ea,ch of whichfcomprises an open frame or ring, a burner supported centrally Within said ring, and a grating resting on topof said ring and adapted to support the article to belheat'ed. These .units may tion is such that they may be assembled in iierent relations without the necessity `ofA fitting or drilling.` In 'detail each unit com? prises a ring `A,' composed Vof Sfourcornersite edges with apertures c, preferablycored in casting. The side plates b are `provided lbe assembled to bring the burnersin the desired relation to eachother, and thelconstrucf,

pins o, and four intermediate side pieces b. The corner-piecesare preferably of 'a rou n d-` V ing formand are provided near their oppo- 'onJopposite ends with overlapping topgnepieces d, vwhich are correspondingly aper` tured Vto register with the apertures aand are l securedto the corners by suitable bolts e.

Each of the. plates b is also providednear its lower edge and upon opposite sides of its longitudinal center with apertures f. These 'are-for the purpose of securing the supporting legs or standards to the ring and also for vassembling several of said ringsin different Ar`elations ,as will be hereinafter set forth.

The supporting legs or standards B are of.

any suitable form,provided with ears g, apertured correspondingly to the apertures f to permit of bolting to the frame. The legs are also preferably apertured, as at h, to receive the mixing-tub`e Cof the burner D. The latter may be of any desired construction and is supported centrally'within the'ring by means of the mixing-tube C and the bracket E at its opposite side, which. is forked or bifnrcated and 'extends to the opposite plate b. The

bracket is secured to said plate by-bolts passing through the apertures f therein and corresponding apertures in feet or legs i on said bracket. The outer end of .the mixing-tube may be providedl with any suitable air and gas mixing device, such as the conical gas-im; f

let nozzle F and registering ring G,'whi ch oon-- -trol the admission of air.
